Pokemon Emerald Battle Revolution ROM

Pokemon Emerald Battle Revolution is a GBA ROM Hack by Damon Murdoch based on Pokemon Emerald. It was last updated on June 09, 2024.

Description

Emerald Battle Revolution is a Pokemon Emerald decompilation project which uses the PokeEmerald Expansion project as a base. The goal for this project is to create a sandbox for players to enjoy the incredible post-game content in Emerald such as the Battle Frontier and other facilities using new Pokemon and simple methods for obtaining properly trained, competitive Pokemon easily without the need for modifying save files.

I’ve also made a web-based program for helping you recreate EV spreads ingame – the EBR EV Spread Utility. Just paste a showdown export in, and it’ll generate a set of instructions for you.

Features

When starting the game, you may choose to be transferred to the battle frontier with the story completed up to becoming the champion.

You will be given $300,000 to start the game, as well as a Swampert and Talonflame for using important HMs such as Fly, Surf, Waterfall, etc.

All TMs / HMs / Key Items can be purchased in the Battle Frontier Underground.

Modern Battle Factory Mode

Randomly generated sets of almost all new Pokemon are now available in the Battle Factory! Restricted legendaries can be selected and faced in the Open Level Battle Mode! All Mythicals except for Arceus and Deoxys can now be used in the Level 50 Battle Mode!

Modern Battle Frontier Mode

Randomly generated sets of almost all new Pokemon can be faced in all Battle Facilities, including the Battle Tents! Restricted legendaries can be selected and faced in the Open Level Battle Mode! All Mythicals except for Arceus and Deoxys can now be used in the Level 50 Battle Mode!

Modern Battle Mechanics

Almost all modern Pokemon, moves, items and mechanics have been implemented through the PokeEmerald Expansion Project! New mechanics and features are implemented by the community regularly! Test your teambuilding skills and make the strongest team you can!
